Edited by: Securitas Protector on 05/02/2009 03:07:52 Hello all, Securitas here.
Some of you here in the Events forum may remember my(along with Satrani) free lotteries a few months ago, over the course of which we gave out almost one billion ISK. As a further reference, I also write for EVE-Mag.com. Now with a bit of time on my hands I'm back to try something new: a neverending lottery. Here's how it works:
You send me the ISK for a ticket, I use the total pot to make investments, and every month I pay out a prize or prizes, depending on the amount of ISK in the pot.
Quick Summary: Ticket Price: 5,000,000 ISK each Ticket Limit: None Character to give to: Securitas Protector Typed Reason for Donation: [Your Name Here], X Tickets Prize Size: Based on the number of tickets in the pot and investments - seriously. I'll be able to give better estimates after the first month.
Step 1: You decide that you can trust me after looking me up and finding that I've never scammed anyone and I have run free lotteries before.
Step 2: You open up EVE, right click on my name, and click "Give Money." You type in 5,000,000 times the number of tickets you want.
Step 3: You make a reply to this forum post stating number of tickets purchased and that you've sent the ISK.
Step 4: I include your name and number of tickets in a spreadsheet(no problem making this public) and possibly post your name in a reply post.
Step 5: I make investments and keep myself busy for the next month.
Step 6: On the first of every month, I hand out prizes to a randomly chosen contestant[s](lotteries won't work because of unset number of tickets) chosen by random.org. This is trust-based, and although I realize it's in short supply in EVE, hopefully we can work something out. I recommend if you're unsure but want to try this to simply try only 5,000,000 the first time and see how it works out. If I scam you, you'll love 5,000,000 ISK and I'll lose my reputation. If required, I'll make a corporation and allow audits - if that what it takes.
Step 7: Your ticket stays in the pot forever, giving you a chance to win for the life of the lottery.
Have a great day everyone,
Thanks,
Securitas

Back in the lottery business I see. Well, I support this man fully and can guarantee he's not a scammer.
So have a 25 mil donation for the win! If you want you can put me up for 5 tickets, otherwise it's a donation. |

Edited by: Securitas Protector on 05/02/2009 04:20:07 Thanks for helping me get this started Gryphius. I remember you quite well. It's great to see you again!
You now have 5 tickets plus I added 10,000,000 of my own cash to the pot.

I'll give this a bump and ask you all to just try one ticket. As an encouragement I'll give one bonus ticket to the first 5 buyers(including Gryphius.) |

Very interesting!
May I ask, when are the drawings? Weekly? Monthly? |

Hey Julius!
The drawings will be monthly for now, but when the pot reaches a certain critical point where the investments will return more I'll make them more often, eventually weekly I hope.

Edited by: Gryphius on 06/02/2009 05:47:07 I really hope this gets off the ground. It seems like nearly every paid lottery failed in a short period of time. Even the BIG lottery prizes are slowly dropping.
Best of luck to you! I'll try and advertise this in my corporation. |

Edited by: Securitas Protector on 11/02/2009 04:59:46 Thanks everyone for the confidence and support!
Just want to make something clear so I don't give you all the wrong idea. First of all, this lottery, by nature, will have VASTLY lower prizes(at least until the pot grows sizeably) than comparable lotteries simply because of the fact that I'm using interest and you get to keep your tickets forever.
Even if I was a world class investor and got 12% per month(not even close, more like 2% on months where I'm super busy to 10% on months with lots of leisure) the rewards would not be large until the pot was very large...so the way I'd think of this lottery is a kind of an income that runs in the background; you buy tickets and forget about it until you win.
On the bright side, remember that once a prize is given out, the value of the next prize will always be greater: if you get a cruiser this time, rest assured that no matter what, more will be given out next time(because of a larger pot.)
I just wanted to relieve any massive expectations of loads of cash made from this up front...I intend to develop this to it's fullest, but I can't work magic(believe me I wish.)
Anyway best of luck and hopefully this wasn't too scary or shocking. Remember the more that's in the pot the more the prize will be.
EDIT: Aki, waiting on the ISK.

ISK has been sent. My apologies, I had a horrible night at bowling and completely spaced out about sending the ISK... I logged in for a total of 5 seconds and never hit the forums until this morning after I was already at work.
